Sec 1 Orientation 2006; O.@.K03 January 2006
Start of orientation. I'm the class prefect for 1A1, together with Vanessa, Amanda & Amelia. Had fun with the class during PL Tour. Got to know some of their names. They are wonderful people, enthusiastic and smart. Today was also the first time that I lead Singspiration. It was a brand new experience for me. After reflecting on it, I felt that I could have done better.

Second day of orientation. And the attitude and behaviour of the Sec 1's has improved, compared to the first day where some of them were kinda rude to us. And each class was supposed to paint their very own class flag. Similar to Mega Camp '05. Only red and black paints. The flags were beautiful. Had everyone's thumbprint on 1 of the flags, including mine =) What a beautful flag that was! Something dreadful happened, my whole hand got stained by the paint and I had difficulties trying to get rid of it. It was Nippon paint and my whole hand stinks while I was using turpentine to remove the paint.
Had fun playing the POW game. The sec 1's were really violent. One of my class's poles broke into 2 while other people were trying to snatch our flag. I really really wonder how they broke it. Haha =) But they managed to save 1 of their flags and got 2 more. Well done! And they had a superb solution to protect their flags man. It was so superb until I thought it was real. Haha =)
And for the Fashion Show, A1 got the Disney theme/character, Finding Nemo. Had the special orientation after lunch. But I missed it coz of the External Ops mtg. Wrote New Year greetings to schools. First time doing that. It was kinda fun.
05 January 2006I got really wet during the games. Almost all the station games were wet games or 'gross' games. Got sabo-ed by lotsa people. Got really wet. Rachel poured a packet of water down my head. Wasn't alert. Haha =) It was really fun. I gotta know more people through the games.
Then had guzheng practice. Went for cca with an empty stomach. Coz cca was gonna start soon. Learnt a CNY song today. It was beautiful. I love it!
06 January 2006Last day of orientation. Awww, kinda sad to part with the class. Hosted the Fashion Show with Lauren. I was really scared but fortunately, everything went smoothly. The sec 1's were really innovative, made good use of the materials tht were given to them. Good job! And I'm extremely happy for 1A1. Though they didn't win the Fashion Show, overall, they are the
best class, and they get the priviledge to have their class name carved on the
Challenge Shield! I'm so proud of you girls =) Did the PB cheers. And all of us sang the Theme Song. The PL spirit is really strong.
From this orientation, I really gained alot of new experience. I've learnt many things. And there is still a big room for improvement. Much more to improve on. Met quite a number of my friends who were from PL Swim Team in Primary School. Glad to see them doing fine. Most importantly, gotta thank all the I/C and aI/C for their wonderful and organised planning that made the orientation run so smoothly. Thank you!
